Hot pakodas and parathas with chutney, especially if it is a spicy chutney with green chillies and garlic, is a real treat for the taste buds in winters. If a person isn’t feeling hungry or is unable to taste the food, serving garlic and green chilli chutney will improve their appetite.
Garlic and green chilli chutney significantly improves the flavour of your food. This chutney is not only appetising but also very healthy. It is also very easy to prepare.
Here are some of the advantages of consuming green chilli and garlic chutney.
Rich in nutrients
Green chillies contain a wide range of nutrients, including Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Iron, Copper, Potassium, Protein, and Carbohydrates. They boost your body’s immunity, which helps keep diseases at bay. Green chillies are also high in dietary fibre, which is necessary for healthy digestion.
Keeps blood pressure in check
Consumption of garlic also helps manage blood pressure. The vegetable should be chewed and allowed to dissolve in the mouth for maximum health benefits. You can also keep your cholesterol levels in check by doing this daily.
Garlic contains the Alarsin compound, which helps reduce inflammation and cholesterol. While cooking garlic in vegetables and lentils improves their flavour, eating it raw can help alleviate cold and flu.
